  • I think this kind of voting system intentionally places the content people want to see (i.e. agree with), at the top which increases active users.

    But it doesn’t stimulate healthy debate and definitely doesn’t encourage going against the mainstream.

    Slashdot had a more interesting system that let only a select number of people rank quality and set a post category (like funny, informative, etc).

    A company cannot disrupt itself. Sears, Kmart, and their colleagues who have perished became particularly good at making a profit through one specific channel. So every executive, every performance bonus, in fact every person on the payroll was focused on maximizing their specific method of turning a profit.

    Unfortunately for them, the world changed and the leaders didn’t realize they were themselves being disrupted and therefore had no capacity to turn the titanic.
